The US should be leading!

Were it not for the Regressive Party generously funded by Dirty Energy and Climate Change Deniers, the US would be leading the world in CLEAN ENERGY!

Climate Change is the greatest threat to our national security and out planet that we will ever face. Please add you name to the petition below - stand up and speak out for our planet!

From: God Bless the President of the United States

‎1. The United States: 24.7 percent of the world total
The U.S. use of alternative energy sources is increasing due to federal, state, and local tax and other incentives, as well as mandated state goals. This is in spite of the fact that attempts to join international agreements or introduce long-term, large scale reductions in emissions have met with opposition in Congress and in the private sector.

2. Germany: 11.7 percent of the world total
Germany made a historic decision when the country decided to phase out nuclear power in favor of alternative sources by 2022. Ironically, it is the only country in the G-20 economic bloc to project a decline in clean energy investment, partially because it has already done so much as an early leader in renewable energy.

3. Spain, 7.8 percent of world total
Last April, wind power became Spain’s largest source of electricity generation, although the country still imports the majority of its energy. Spanish producers are also building turbines and installing wind farms internationally, including in the U.S. Sadly, with the current economic problems in Spain, this may change.

4. China: 7.6 percent of world total
China is erecting 36 wind turbines a day and building a robust new electricity grid to send this power thousands of miles across the country from the deserts of the west to the cities of the east. It is part of a long-term plan to supply 15% of the country’s energy from alternative and renewable sources by 2020.

5. Brazil: 5 percent of world total
Brazil has boosted large investments into the wind sector through government auctions for contracts, and is also working to attract foreign investment into solar energy. The country has also made a pledge to have solar power in all twelve venues when it hosts the 2014 World Cup.

These are exciting times in the inevitable development of renewable energy!See More

Take Action: Tell Congress to Stand Up for Climate Action!

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, it's clear that 2012 was a year of weather on steroids. From extreme drought and catastrophic wildfires to devastating storms and floods, the climate crisis has arrived.

 

But some in Congress have aggressively tried to defund the Environmental Protection Agency or strip it of its regulatory authority. The best scientists in the world have proven that global warming is the single most important issue of our time, and the EPA is essential to protect you from the greenhouse gases and toxic metals being released into the atmosphere that are accelerating climate change.

 

That's why we strongly urge you take action and contact your elected officials today. Tell them to take a stand against any proposals to weaken the EPA and our shared environment.
